You would think that a week off would help heal some of those lingering football injuries. After all, Dallas will welcome back quarterback Tony Romo after their bye week.
Washington isn't seeing that take place.
Clinton Portis may miss Sunday's game with a MCL sprain that got worse during the bye. His main backup, Ladell Betts, hasn't played in a month due to the exact same injury. He could return to action this week but still hasn't practiced. If neither can go then the Redskins are looking at starting Shaun Alexander. Yikes!
To make matters worse, Santana Moss has been held out of practice with his sore hamstring. His hammy limited him in the Redskins last game, a loss to the Steelers.
